ABOUT THE PHANTOMS: Phoebus offensive philosophy is no secret: pound it to Tony Pittman, who is averaging 176 yards on 24 carries per game. No one has slowed him down all year, but this will be the best defense he’s faced. QB Terrell Toliver Likely will have to establish the passing game to make Pittman more effective. Big-play TE Richie Staton is his favorite target. Defensively, Phoebus has been sound against the run but spotty vs. the pass. Hampton’ Deon Newsome completed only five passes last week but for 112 yards, 66 of which came on one play. Phoebus makes a living forcing turnovers, where it is plus-21 for the season. If the game comes down to a kick, Phoebus should have the advantage with Dylan Kremp, whose 25-yard field goal as time expired gave the Phantoms a 20-17 win in last year’s semifinals.

ABOUT THE TITANS: Three times in the last four years, Lake Taylor’s season ended with a loss to Phoebus. So, yes, the Titans have that incentive. LT hasn’t made it to the state semifinals since 1982, but this might be the best team in Hank Sawyer’s 15 seasons as head coach. The offense averages 46 points and 386 yards per game. The defense has pitched five shutouts and allowed 65 rushing yards — all season. RBs Brandon Moore and Daquan Davis are an incredible one-two punch. Together, they’re averaging 8.7 yards a carry. QB Delmon Williams is completing 60 percent of his passes with only two interceptions in 139 attempts. The team’s biggest issue has been penalties. The Titans have drawn 99 flags for 1,001 yards — per-game averages of 8 for 83. That hasn’t mattered so far with so many blowouts, but in a close game it could be defining.
